I found this on trip advisor but purchased on my phone through the app store. They off a bundle on the Big Island. This was so worth the money especially compared to an expensive tour. The app is very well done, providing narration, stories, music and navigation along the way. When you want to stop, you just pause the app and then start again. It was the perfect way to tour on our own and even gives restaurant recommendations. Great job!

This was much more fun than I expected. There was a lot of information. The app knew where we were and if we skipped a stop. If give it 5 stars but we had some struggle when we turned it off for lunch. We did get back on track after some effort.
